We’ll definitely check to see if they’re still needed. And yes, if it turns out they’re not needed, we’ll drop them.

In s3, the flaggedrevs tables were around 3GB in total. Not large but not non-negligible either. I don't think FR has any table that'd be useful afterwards, we dropped it for frwiki years ago.
